Be still my heart! Have you seen a more adorable Poptart? These Homemade Sweet Cherry Mini Poptarts are equally delicious. Made with whole wheat, cherry preserves and a scrumptious cherry glaze (optional)!
Preheat oven to 375 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
To prepare crust, mix flour and salt in a large bowl, then cut in butter with a fork or pastry cutter until well combined. Using a tablespoon, drizzle cold water over the mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until it starts to form a dough. It should be moist enough to form into a ball, but not too sticky to knead.
Add more flour if it gets too wet. Turn onto a floured surface, shape into a disc, and then using a rolling pin, roll into a large rectangle. Place a sheet of plastic wrap over the dough while rolling to reduce sticking and cracking.
Using a heart shaped cookie cutter cut 30 hearts and carefully transfer 15 of them to the baking sheet. Place about 1/2 tbsp. of cherry preserves onto 15 of the hearts, leaving a 1/4 inch border to seal the edges. Use your finger to dot water around the edges so the two hearts stick together.
Top the hearts with another and seal lightly with a fork. Poke a few holes in the top of each, brush melted butter on top of each, sprinkle with coconut sugar and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes, then top with glaze if desired.
